With all of the talk about how big Elona may be I was thinking that Rally the Princes must be the longest Primary quest in Guild Wars World.

I was doing the quest this morning with my monk and I counted the little red circles durring each stage of the quest. There are four stages to the quest, here are listed below:

Stage 1 : Get to Chantry of Secrets

54 circles

Stage 2: Vehtindy Valley

35 circles

Stage 3: Get to Forum Highlands

32 circles

Stage 4: Get to Kodash

31 circles

in the Elona thread someone said the distance between the center of a circle to the center of the next circle is 100 feet. If that is the case the total distance of this quest is 15,00 feet. Doing some quick math that means on average my toon was moving at 5.75 miles per hour.

My guess for the longest nonprimary quest is Beak of Darkness..

Your ideas?

I think the Black Moa chick might be a contender.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

Well Against the Destroyers is like a quest that in order to finish you have to complete other quests. So what would that make it? The one quest to rule them all?

I haven't finished beak of darkness, too lazy :P

Yeah, but it can be easily ran. The entire thing or just to the second zone.

The Titan quests, starting with Defend Droknars Forge then moving to Defend North Kryta, Last Day Dawns, Defend Denravi, ending with Titan Source.

Not just one of the longest chain of quests but possible one of the hardest, anyone ever even contemplate these on Hard Mode?????

Heroes + Titans being bad at Guild Wars = lolz "Hard Mode" Titan Quests. I speak the truth.

Fairly epic set of quests though.

Villany of Galrath and the Black Moa are pretty long. Against the destoryers is long too, but if you think about it, it is also several quests bundled together. So it and the GWEN primaries are also in a different category.

Kormir's Crusade seems long as heck when you do it for the first time. The arrow is somewhat deceiving. Torment Claws and Shiro'ken drag it on a long time if you don't have any running skills in your profession.

Villainy is long because the people doing it are usually idiots. I was doing it on my Derv and had a lengthy argument with the other 2 Dervs in my party about why I wasn't fighting any of the enemies. I'd said in LA that I was going to run everyone to ToA so we could have more people in the party and so no one would have to fight. They both had Avatar of Balthazar but not Eternal Aura and so they kept dying from Skeletons and poison and when I made a joke about it one of them started crying(the Dervs were a husband and wife pair) and the other had to leave and console her. The rest of us left them and completed the quest.

Yeah, against the destroyers is probably the longest. This 1 quest was the whole expansion tbh.

I had Villainy of Galrath active when I vanquished Kessex Peak, it makes the area much easier (fewer Verata cultists).

I also vanquished Flame Temple/Dragon's Gullet with Titan Source active, only difficult part was killing the Charr Shaman Lord who insisted on kiting around the three titan bosses.

Finally, I vanquished Mineral Springs with Defend Droknar's Forge active. Far easier than all the Ice Imps and Avicara.

Back on topic, Rally the Princes is quite long (I did it in two halves: to Chantry and from Chantry). Mayhem in the Market is just as bad when you consider distance covered (and the fact that rarely is the entire party Level 20 when you do it). Longest Prophecies primary quest: To Kryta, which was really three quests.

I would consider the following unable to be considered in the total:

Sorrows Furance: It is none core game play, non primary, and it is an expansion

Against the Destoryers: Same reason, it is an expansion and the quest log is just silly.

you are correct, it was me who tested the distance thing... but from ur math, if u r just counting dots, its 100feet between dots, so u need to take 100feet from each part, supposing u just counted dots, first dot is first spot, not from anywhere....

and i would agree with u for longest, it covers many areas.... GWEN quests r retarded to the fact that there are no missions everything is a quest, i would consider that area / expansion exept from this...

The GWEN one don't count, that's the entire expansion.

For a real quest the longest one, BY FAR, is probably the "And A Hero Shall Lead Them".

For my old foreign characters, I have to GRIND 2500 of those Stupid Sunspear points just to move on with the quest. For my Paragon/Dervish ok I got there with ~1000 but that means I still have to GRIND another 1500 more

This quest is a total dreaded chore. The worse part this quest is a primary quest and my character cannot continue on with the game until I GRIND all those stupid points on each character.

I remember the first time I did that with a pug, memorable experience.. Miss those noob days. Everything now is too known, theres no sense of adventure anymore.


High hopes for GW2 bringing those feelings back.

The Black Moa was pretty long, and a lot of re-zoning.

I'm not really sure what's longest because i'm still new. (Almost level 12) but that freaking Ashes quest made me so mad...

That's not fair...all you need to do are the quests to get the Dejarin estate back, and the quests on the Barbarous Shore (?) - the pirate quests. You get them early on, in Yohlon, so they're not hard to find and will take you all the way up to general.

If you'd rather grind than do quests, that's your business. Though they are some of my favorite quests in Nightfall.

Villainy has always been fun for me, doing it with people who have just arrived in LA. I remember doing it for the first time and being amazed at a warrior with an amazing skill that when you were resurrected, you teleported to him.. I thought it was some kind of high-powered warrior skill. Of course it was just rebirth and I was n00b.


Nonetheless, I like to go back to Kessex peak with other newbies and show them the ropes, its a pretty epic journey if you fight the whole way from LA, i like it that way.

Well some dungeons in Eye of the North take a while especially on hard mode. 2-4 hours for Shards of Orr and Frostmaw's Burrow on hard

I think they mean the Beak of Darkness, where you kill the Black Moa.

*read first page again* Redfeather1975's post was about the chick, the other's must mean Beak.
